With a landscape education background in both China and the US and several internships of professional experiences across this industry, I'm always considered a well-prepared landscape architect with an international perspective. I am not limited to landscape design but looking for an opportunity to apply my skills and ideas to a broader version, including urban design and urban planning.

Growing up in Xi'an and studying in Beijing, those historical metropolises led to my interest in cultural landscapes in an urban context. I like excavating a comprehensive context of a site and re-narrating the hidden stories through design. My goal is to connect people and land on a cultural and natural level, striving to build landscapes that improve living environments and community identity.

Influenced by landscape urbanism, I'm also interested in working on an urban scale, committed to exploring hybrid urban landscape systems, creating a resilient and adaptive mixture of social context, urban ecology, and living environment that bring quality living in cities.

I love traveling, especially enjoy being immersed in nature when hiking or camping. In other free time, I prefer staying at home and spending time cooking, crafting, and drawing.
